Hi All - I'm looking at using a Whirlwind GA200L for my IO-320 powered RV-9A and was wondering if anyone who's using or has used it could provide some opinions on that propeller.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Whirlwind GA200L Ground Adjustable Prop
- Thread starter SquishyOleo
- Start date
On a 4
I have 30 hours on my -4 with a GA200L. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it's light and performs well on my 150 HP O320. The matching spinner is very high quality.
Pitch adjustment is a little tricky with the tools and instructions provided, but it's doable. I have flown in some rain (and plan to fly in a lot more), and with the nickel leading edges, the finish is unscathed.
Looks great, too!

I will post some numbers soon
Installed this prop on my io320 equipped rv9a. Very happy so far. Some install issues I will report on later. However in the end all is well. Performance is very nice. Able to pick up several knots and not be limited to 2600 rpm. Also looks really nice too.

Interested in what "Install Issues" you had, since I'm very close to mounting mine.
What mounting lug/bolt issues?
